Hello Friends,
Happy Friday and Passover and Easter to you all. Hubby and I have been sort of stressed out over all this house CRAP. I don't think I have actually slept in a week. Everything is all up in the air and on a timeline so We don't know if or what will happen - but whatever does is Meant to be I guess. Its hard to just relax but we are trying.
My lunch from Wednesday was some turkey meatballs, a little sugar free pasta sauce, cheese and 1 and 1/2 slices of Alpine Valley bread that was left.
Dinner was a spinach salad and
a piece of chicken
Breakfast Thursday was some berries and 2 of those Browkies I made.
Lunch was tuna, avocado instead of mayo, a little onion and 1 celery and 1 hard boiled egg cut up and a few jalapenos and some onion crunch.
For dinner last night I made a few tequilla lime wings and
some awesome veggies. zucchini and mushroom and garlic sauted in EVOO and threw in some kale and sea salt. so good.
In Honor of Passover I bought some Matzos I saw at Sprouts of all places. Matzo is a Jewish-Kosher bread-cracker that represents when the Jews left Egypt and did not have time to let the bread rise - therefore we now Have Matzos. They are only made with wheat flour and water - that's IT.. breakfast this morning I made Matzo and eggs - well with a Mexican twist.
I cooked in a pan some chorizo, then added in some mushrooms and a tb of butter and a matzo all crumbled up and let fry for a little while, then I added in the eggs and topped on my plate with some cheese. SO GOOD!!
Tomorrow, (Saturday) Hubby has to work days right now, but there is a funeral I am going to attend in his place for a very good friend of his Mom's that passed. Sunday (Easter) His Mom is having a dinner at her house and again Hubby is working days and will get off at 6pm and join us after. I am gonna pick up Maria and we will both go over. She said she is having a cake cause its Hubby's Birthday on Wednesday coming up.
Remember where ever you are this weekend to keep eating healthy. Use my 3 bite rule, pick 1 food that you really love and just have 1-3 bites then stop. No fruity drinks, just have 1 glass of red wine or nothing!!
Have a great weekend.
This is PurpleRosy signing off...
Keep on BFC ' n :-)

Stevia Chart
Some tips if you are having trouble
- First make sure that you are staying under the 15/6. 15 sugars and 6 servings of carbs for the whole day. Thats no more than 5 sugars and 2 servings of carbs per meal.
- Track all of your sugar/carbs. Add everything from your meal together and count them that way.
- Try to stop eating whole grain carbs after 3pm.
- Make sure you drink lots of water.
- Count everything that you put into your mouth. Even sauces - everything , check labels.
- Make sure that you don't eat any artificial sugars. Check labels, if it says sugar free - look in the ingredients, look for....sucralose, aspartame, saccharine in the ingredients. Those are BAD!
- Going #2 is a big problem when a lot of people start the BFC. I have solved that problem with Clear Benefiber in my morning coffee and a scoop of Super Seed w/water in the afternoon. (you can buy the super seed on Amazon.com it is the cheapest).
- Choose your carbs wisely. Try to pick the carbs that will give you the lowest count of carbs, sugar and calories and the most fiber.
I hope this helps.

I cannot do red wine give me a headache... am I safe to assume that white wine is okay?
ReplyDeleteMelody I don't usually drink white anymore cause it all tastes sweet to me, but if you drink the dry ones - I guess 1 won't kill you :-)
DeleteHappy Passover Easter to you too!
ReplyDeleteI wish for you some good, solid, sound sleep so everything looks better!
So the house isn't gone yet?
We are working on it Kay. I don't want to say details though.
DeleteRosalie - Hope everything works out on the house so you can relax!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement and suggestions, I am not feeling tempted to eat any easter candy but it's good to have a plans if I get side-swiped.
